Hi. I still find this kinda confusing. Is there a tutorial that step-by-step states: 1. Where and how to download some frequently used profiles, like Adobe's? 2. Where to put the .icc-files on the various platforms (Mac/Linux/Windows) in order to make Inkscape use them. 3. If installing LittleCMS or similar is needed to make this work? I tried having a look at Inkscape.org, Flossmanuals, Wikipedia but to no avail. Searching for icc on Inkscape.org only gives me a hint about manually adding an XML element to each file when use of ICC profiles i s desired. http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Adding_color-profile_element . I also can not get the dropdowns in the *Preferences --> Color Management *dialog to work even when I follow minombresbond's advice. Sorry if this is obvious to you all but I'm having a bit of a struggle. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks :), Jimmy Volatile.

previously I transform transparency to solid colors in inkscape
How do you transform transparency? Manually? I Can't find a function doing this for me.
yes, manually, with f7 color tool
I dont know if exist any function for 'automate' this, in inkscape, or in any other vector software
if a complex art, then export to png, and remove alpha channel in gimp if necessary
remove transparency it is a common recommendation from printing bureau
you need icc profile (monitor RGB profile and printer CMYK profile) to preview in inkscape *approximately* (but very close)[1],
Can you set the Device Profile in Preferences > Color management > Proofing? I can't even set the Display Profile there, just Retrieve profile from display.
place the icc profiles in /usr/share/color/icc ( gnu/linux os)
there is a icc package called 'icc-profile' in many distros
here inkscape Color Management tutorial:
http://en.flossmanuals.net/Inkscape/ColorManagement
always need *two* icc color profiles, that work like this:
+------------------+ | RGB screen color | RGB values, +------------------+ colors which can be viewed on screen | | RGB profile (your monitor icc profile) | V +--------------+ | 'REAL' color | platonic color world +--------------+ | | CMYK profile (like 'euroscale coated') | | +----------------+ | offset printer | CMYK values, +----------------+ colors which can be viewed on paper
